500: Joker play feedback (sometimes with NT bids) #117

Open johnson520 opened 1 year ago

In 500 the bots have a fundamental flaw when playing second in that they always play the joker if they have it.

The second player should only play the joker if the right bower is led or if they are forced to. This gives the bot’s partner an opportunity to take the trick.

With the recent upgrade to 500, I noticed the bot's are playing no trump more but they are not using the joker the way they could. When they run out of the suit, they often do not play the joker and leave it until the last play causing them to use the round. I do appreciate that the bot's are inkling more and not automatically inkling no trump.
